Description

Aristotle's Metaphysics is a foundational work of Western philosophy that explores the nature of existence and reality. In this edition, Hugh Lawson-Tancred's lucid translation is accompanied by a stimulating introduction that highlights the central themes of this influential philosophical text. The Metaphysics presents Aristotle's rejection of the Platonic theory that our perceptions are mere reflections of reality, and his argument that the reality or substance of things lies in their concrete forms. This seminal work probes some of the deepest questions of philosophy, including the nature of change, the existence of certain things that must exist for others to exist, and the relationships between substance, matter, form, essence, and accident. This Penguin Classics edition offers authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
